Chapter 49: Chapter 49 I Believe Whatever You Say_1 Chapter 49: Chapter 49 I Believe Whatever You Say_1 “He was just clinging to life, just to witness the birth of his eldest grandson! Xiao Changyi, you didn’t curse your grandfather to death, you believe me! Trust me!”
Behind these words, An Jing became more and more agitated, even tightly gripping one of Xiao Changyi’s arms, wanting him to believe her, that he really hadn’t cursed his grandfather to death.
Due to her excitement, the strength in An Jing’s hands was very significant, causing pain in the arm that reached his brain, but Xiao Changyi didn’t care at all; instead, the corners of his cool lips slowly curled up.
Touching An Jing’s head, he looked straight into her eyes and said gently, “I trust you.”
An Jing immediately let out a huge sigh of relief, and then realized she was gripping his arm tightly. Shocked, she quickly withdrew her hand and said awkwardly, “Sorry about that, did I hurt you?”
She hadn’t expected herself to be so emotional. Anyway, she just didn’t want him to think of himself as an unlucky person.
Xiao Changyi shook his head: “No.”
“You also didn’t curse your father to death; that was an accident!” An Jing hastily added this.
Xiao Changyi nodded: “Mhm.”
An Jing suddenly looked at him suspiciously, “Do you… really trust me?”
“That was too easy…” An Jing still had some doubts.
“Whatever you say, I’ll believe,” Xiao Changyi said, looking straight into her eyes, his words devoid of any falsehood.
Unable to suppress a proud smile, An Jing stated haughtily, “Well, that’s what you said, and I’ll remember it. I have a very good memory, and if you dare not trust me in the future, hmph, watch out, I might just kill you.”
The corners of Xiao Changyi’s mouth also rose; he loved to see her vibrant and slightly haughty demeanor.
“There won’t be a day like that,” he said.
“Ah~” An Jing let out a contented and sweet sigh, then, with a beaming smile, she said, “You’re really great~”
Better than her grandparents, her parents, better even than herself. No one had ever been as good to her as he was.
Xiao Changyi raised his hand, about to stroke An Jing’s head, but before his hand could reach her, he heard Mrs. Hongxia calling out, “Changyi? Changyi?”
Xiao Changyi’s expression remained unchanged.
It was An Jing who frowned and said, “It must be because of Liu Sanya.”
“It’s okay, I will handle it,” Xiao Changyi said.
“I will handle it with you,” An Jing said, her tone and gaze filled with determination. She’d not allow anyone to take verbal advantage of her man, who wasn’t fond of speaking much!
Understanding An Jing’s intent, Xiao Changyi felt his heart fill, and an almost imperceptible smile played on his lips. Without any objection, he responded with a “Mhm” and then helped An Jing out of the kitchen.
“Mrs., what brings you here?” An Jing asked proactively upon seeing Mrs. Hongxia looking around in the courtyard.
Mrs. Hongxia looked at An Jing and Xiao Changyi with complicated eyes for a long while before speaking with a less-than-pleasant tone, “Let’s talk inside; it wouldn’t be good if others heard.”
An Jing thought to herself that she wasn’t afraid of people overhearing. She had nothing to hide!
However, considering that Mrs. Hongxia was Old Hunter Liu’s legal wife, An Jing didn’t argue and obediently let Xiao Changyi assist her into the main room.
“Changyi, pour Mrs. a glass of water,” An Jing said as soon as they settled on the bench in the main room.
Mrs. Hongxia immediately waved her off: “No need, I’ll leave once I’ve said my piece.” She didn’t dare stay long in this place.
An Jing inwardly sneered, but her face showed nothing.
Mrs. Hongxia, with a very complicated look, glanced at An Jing again before saying to Xiao Changyi with a stern face, “Changyi, Sanya came to me crying, saying that you and An Jing bullied her. Is this true?”
